As I recall, WRI sells a version of Mathematica for Cray supercomputers.
(It was $250,000 not including the Cray the last time I looked, but that's

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whenever you say something to them,
they translate it into their own language, and at once it is something
entirely different. J. W. v. GOETHE
